Warms My Heart - There Is Hope


Farmers everywhere are protesting the WEF/UN/EU's move to starve 7/8th's of us to death and are meeting with some success. So happy to see. I'll be even happier when Klaus is hanging from a tree, hopefully tarred and feathered with the tar on fire.

Joni Mitchell


Joni Mitchell, just caught her singing at the Gershwin Prize broadcast March of last year. She would have been 79. I have not heard her sing since the 70's, she is fat now, but it sure hasn't hurt her voice, did a rendition of Summertime and The Circle Game, velvety butter-smooth voice, she definitely will never require pitch correction, absolute perfect pitch. Still has her beautiful long blonde hair, but her voice has only improved through the years.

The Fauci Hagiography issue was bad enough, but the current 02.204 issue's article with Dr Paul Offit's lies on behalf of the Vaccine Industry are the final straw in our willingness to subject ourselves to your product's narrative maintenance at the expense of Truth.

Many doctors, researchers, and actuarial studies are now proving the COVID MRNA vaxes are killing more people than they (may have) saved, many of whom are young healthy athletes dying of heart failures.

History will judge Offit and Fauci as Pharma-bought criminals (see RFK Jr.'s books for the facts on COVID MRNA lack of testing and FDA complicity and coverups of the damages being done).

Yet Offit states "no one is safe until everyone is safe", and wants government power to force genetic-changing experimental products on us all. Your readers deserve better - Goodbye! "



St. John Chrysostom on #Sodom:

For such is the burning of Sodom, and that conflagration! And they know it well that have been at the place, and have seen with their eyes that scourge divinely sent, and the effect of the lightnings from above (Jude 7). Consider how great is that sin, to have forced hell to appear even before its time! For whereas many thought scorn of His words, by His deeds did God show them the image thereof in a certain novel way. For that rain was unwonted, for that the intercourse was contrary to nature, and it deluged the land, since lust had done so with their souls. Wherefore also the rain was the opposite of the customary rain. Now not only did it fail to stir up the womb of the earth to the production of fruits, but made it even useless for the reception of seed. For such was also the intercourse of the men, making a body of this sort more worthless than the very land of Sodom. And what is there more detestable than a man who hath pandered himself, or what more execrable? Oh, what madness! Oh, what distraction! Whence came this lust lewdly revelling and making man’s nature all that enemies could? or even worse than that, by as much as the soul is better than the body. Oh, ye that were more senseless than irrational creatures, and more shameless than dogs! for in no case does such intercourse take place with them, but nature acknowledgeth her own limits. But ye have even made our race dishonored below things irrational, by such indignities inflicted upon and by each other.

I didn't know it, but they have generational death clocks.

As of this post, about one third of Baby Boomers have died, and about 6.5 percent of Gen X, and about 1 percent of millennials.

Several explosions were reported near the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, Iraq, an Iraqi security source told ABC News.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps quickly took responsibility for the attacks, saying it was targeting the "headquarters of spies" and "anti-Iranian terrorist gatherings in parts of the region" with ballistic missiles.

Four people were killed, and six were injured in the attack, the Kurdistan Regional Security Council said.

There were no coalition forces or American forces killed in the bombing of Erbil, the Iraqi security source told ABC News.

"It is a notable shortcoming of the literature about National Socialism that it does not know or does not want to admit to what degree all the deeds—with the sole exception of the technical process of gassing—that the National Socialists later committed had already been described in a voluminous literature of the early 1920s: mass deportations and shootings, torture, death camps, extermination of entire groups using strictly objective selection criteria, and public demands for the annihilation of millions of guiltless people who were thought to be "enemies".

It is probable that many of these reports were exaggerated. It is certain that the “White Terror” also committed terrible deeds, even though its program contained no analogy to the “extermination of the bourgeoisie”. Nonetheless, the following question must seem permissible, even unavoidable: Did the National Socialists or Hitler perhaps commit an “Asiatic” deed merely because they and their ilk considered themselves to be the potential victims of an “Asiatic” deed? Wasn’t the 'Gulag Archipelago' more original than Auschwitz? Was the Bolshevik murder of an entire class not the logical and factual prius of the "racial murder" of National Socialism? Cannot Hitler's most secret deeds be explained by the fact that he had not forgotten the rat cage? Did Auschwitz in its root causes not originate in a past that would not pass?’’

I vaguely remember when this case dropped - amazing to think he would be free. It is not even a matter of whether or not he is a threat to others, IMO, but that it seems unlikely he has paid his debt to society.

(MENAFN- AzerNews) Al-Ittihad forward Karim Benzema, Al-Ahly striker Roberto Firmino and Al-Ittifaq midfielder Jordan Henderson want to leave Saudi Arabia, Azernews reports.

All three players joined the Saudi club last summer. It is reported that the players are not satisfied with the climate in Saudi Arabia, the quality of the fields and the low attendance of matches.

It's interesting to see that they take the crowd aspect very serious - money just isn't enough for some of these top stars.

Simply amazing policy move here:

The park covers 47 acres and is right next to a portion of the Rio Grande River. This will give DPS officers control over the area to help stop illegals from crossing into the U.S. The take over is for an indefinite period of time with DPS having total control of the area.

“All access to the property is limited to state authority only. Border Patrol will be permitted to enter the property to remove their equipment and supplies—Agents will not have access to the area unless there is a medical emergency.” – NewsNation reporter Ali Brady said.

They're going to take strategic crossing points, declare them state property, and then arrest, punish, deport illegals for criminal trespass since they can't get them on anything else these days as the Feds don't cooperate.

It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat; and this I can verily believe as I gaze upon him who sitteth purring before the fire. For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. He is the soul of antique Aegyptus, and bearer of tales from forgotten cities in Meroë and Ophir. He is the kin of the jungle’s lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa. The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten.

St. Gregory of Nyssa very properly explains the Holy Trinity here and how it is uncreated and beyond the natural world, thus any idea that God was man in any sense, or that there is some hierarchy that divides them, is wrong:

Created intelligible nature stands on the borderline between good and the reverse, so as to be capable of either, and to incline at pleasure to the things of its choice, as we learn from Scripture; so that we can say of it that it is more or less in the heights of excellence only in proportion to its removal from the evil and its approach to the good. Whereas uncreate intelligible nature is far removed from such distinctions: it does not possess the good by acquisition, or participate only in the goodness of some good which lies above it: in its own essence it is good, and is conceived as such: it is a source of good, it is simple, uniform, incomposite, even by the confession of our adversaries. But it has distinction within itself in keeping with the majesty of its own nature, but not conceived of with regard to quantity, as Eunomius supposes: (indeed the man who introduces the notion of less of good into any of the things believed to be in the Holy Trinity must admit thereby some admixture of the opposite quality in that which fails of the good: and it is blasphemous to imagine this in the case either of the Only-begotten, or of the Holy Spirit): we regard it as consummately perfect and incomprehensibly excellent yet as containing clear distinctions within itself which reside in the peculiarities of each of the Persons: as possessing invariableness by virtue of its common attribute of uncreatedness, but differentiated by the unique character of each Person. This peculiarity contemplated in each sharply and clearly divides one from the other: the Father, for instance, is uncreate and ungenerate as well: He was never generated any more than He was created. While this uncreatedness is common to Him and the Son, and the Spirit, He is ungenerate as well as the Father. This is peculiar and uncommunicable, being not seen in the other Persons. The Son in His uncreatedness touches the Father and the Spirit, but as the Son and the Only-begotten He has a character which is not that of the Almighty or of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit by the uncreatedness of His nature has contact with the Son and Father, but is distinguished from them by His own tokens. His most peculiar characteristic is that He is neither of those things which we contemplate in the Father and the Son respectively. He is simply, neither as ungenerate , nor as only-begotten: this it is that constitutes His chief peculiarity. Joined to the Father by His uncreatedness, He is disjoined from Him again by not being 'Father.' United to the Son by the bond of uncreatedness, and of deriving His existence from the Supreme, He is parted again from Him by the characteristic of not being the Only-begotten of the Father, and of having been manifested by means of the Son Himself. Again, as the creation was effected by the Only-begotten, in order to secure that the Spirit should not be considered to have something in common with this creation because of His having been manifested by means of the Son, He is distinguished from it by His unchangeableness, and independence of all external goodness. The creation does not possess in its nature this unchangeableness, as the Scripture says in the description of the fall of the morning star, the mysteries on which subject are revealed by our Lord to His disciples: I saw Satan falling like lightning from heaven [Luke 10:18] . But the very attributes which part Him from the creation constitute His relationship to the Father and the Son. All that is incapable of degenerating has one and the same definition of unchangeable.

I think the problem of the Ukrainains is precisely that they have built up this legend around themselves and their position in the world that they cannot negotiate. \

They believe they have some sacred calling, and they likewise feel the weight of being anointed by America as a sacred battlefield of democracy.

Moreover, all of the propaganda surrounding the Russians as orcs and, simultaneously, completely incapable in the face of Ukrainian arms, only possessing the ability to send "meat" into the grinder, so to speak, has built up an inaccurate perception of the self which threatens to boil over into more catastrophic failure.

Thus seeing Biden come out and say that he wants Ukraine to 'sharpen' their war plan... Yet, $110 billion in aid and modernized arms could not deliver any decisive defeat to Russia anywhere and, if anything, served to tighten Russia's grip on the Ukraine.

The whole thing has been an abject failure and a mess, and now both Ukraine and America are held captive by their unhelpful and unreasonable rhetoric.

Abraham, the disciple of Abba Agathon, questioned Abba Poemen saying, 'How do the demons fight against me?' Abba Poemen said to him, 'The demons fight against you? They do not fight against us at all as long as we are doing our own will. For our own wills become the demons, and it is these which attack us in order that we may fulfil them. But if you want to see who the demons really fight against, it is against Moses and those who are like him.

The American government should be able to force the Israelis to pause their inhuman bombing campaign which crushes the lives of civilians to save Americans...

But there's no chance of it.

For whatever reason, the progressive, peace-oriented Democrats who hold Congress and the White House won't lift a finger.

Remember that the next time you vote blue (if you happen to be a #Democrat). These people do not share your values - they are Zionists who support terror in the name of their cause.

Linux Kernel 6.7 Build Issues


I have successfully compiled 6.7 kernel on my workstation for Ubuntu using make bindeb-pkg, but compiling it for Redhat machines using binrpm-pkg fails. Also, trying to compile it on one of my servers is failing. Previous kernels have compiled without error in both environments. The 6.7 kernel is performing very well on my workstation, hence I'd really like to get it running on the other machines including the server running friendica, but it is being obstinate.

This is the error I am getting with make bindeb-pkg on the server, 6.2 compiled fine on this same machine:

Nothing can really go right for these guys.

A crackdown on corruption in Ukraine's Defense Ministry has uncovered violations costing more than a quarter of a billion dollars, according to Kyiv.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that an internal audit of the ministry he heads found financial violations over the last four months worth 10 billion hryvnia—in the Ukrainian currency—or $260 million, as he vowed that authorities would "respond harshly to all cases."

He said that reports about arrests and criminal charges are among changes to how the ministry operates "that will be noticed more and more frequently."

Ukraine has applied to join the European Union and is particularly sensitive to claims of corruption especially given the wrangle on both sides of the Atlantic over its allies' continued financial aid to fight Russia.

In September, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Umerov following the resignation of Oleksii Reznikov after scandals involving inflated prices for food supplies and low-quality military jackets for troops fighting against Russia.

They appear to not have a government capable and competent enough to even be trusted with wealth.

Wow, super based Modi has his own cyber warriors to counter not just local campaigners, but international ones, and frequently attacks Soros.

The Modi government is notorious for spreading disinformation through its social media campaigns. With over 500 million active users, Whatsapp’s most significant base is India, making it a breeding ground for mis-and disinformation.

Although very little is known about BJP's Whatsapp machinery, it is well-documented that it forms an integral part of its digital campaign, often filled with propaganda to incite hate.

“Other parties in India have tried this. We've seen it in other countries like Brazil. But WhatsApp was really mastered first, and at scale, by the BJP,” Kiran Garimella, a Rutgers University professor who researched WhatsApp's role in Indian politics, told The Washington Post. “It requires resources, planning, investment, and a top-down belief in building this infrastructure. But 99 percent of what's happening in these groups is off-limits. We have no visibility at all.”

Modi government officials, experts said, act like “social media warriors.”

"Each and every BJP volunteer who has a mobile is a social media warrior," Ajith Kumar Ullal, 59, the BJP's social media head in the port city of Mangaluru, told The Washington Post.

Mangaluru, situated in the southern state of Karnataka, falls under what is often called the “Hindutva lab.”

Ullal, who is also a member of some 200 Whatsapp groups, “operates out of a ‘war room’ in the BJP's gleaming downtown office, commanding a social media ‘cell’ of nine volunteers responsible for an area in coastal Karnataka inhabited by 1.5 million people,” The Washington Post reported.

Several BJP groups held their national social media workshops in recent months as the Hindu Party streamlines its social media strategy ahead of the general elections in 2024.

“An important source of BJP said that work of the Narendra Modi-led government of 9 years have to reach the public...through social media and conveying the message to the public through digital means," Asian News International reported. “Social media teams will be made at various levels including district, state and divisional. A team of five to six people will be formed at all fronts with one social media coordinator and two co-coordinators.”

Many campaigns are geared toward improving BJP's image at home and abroad. One such campaign is the “Disinfo Lab,” which claims to be "investigating Info-warfare & Psy-war" and has systematically been targeting the Modi government's critics in the U.S.

In April, the Disinfo Lab published a report criticizing the New York-based Hindus for Human Rights Founder, Sunita Viswanath, a human rights group critical of Modi's Hindutva policies.

The report linked Viswanath to Soros's Open Society Foundations for receiving funding for a nonprofit she launched to help female Afghan refugees.

Amit Malviya, the head of the BJP's social media team, posted on X: “Who is she exactly? She is nothing but a proxy of George Soros, who has committed $1 billion to meddle in India's internal affairs, through a network of opposition leaders, think tanks, journalists, lawyers and activists.”

“In 28 reports it has published so far, the organization has often painted a picture of an India under attack by a sprawling "nexus" of conspirators funded by Pakistani intelligence, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Soros," The Washington Post reported in its recent investigation on lab.

The Disinfo Lab also insinuated that Rep. Pramila Jayapal, an Indian-American Democrat from Washington State who is critical of Modi, received funds via this “nexus.”

The Disinfo Lab has gone after the Indian-American activists who criticized the Modi government for discrimination against Muslims and Dalits, members of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedoms (USCIRF), a bipartisan organization that recommended the state department assign India a “country of particular concern” on account of how the religious minorities are being treated in the country under Modi.

I do not agree with a lot of his domestic policy but the guy sure is not going to take anything lying down in cyberspace.

Hasan, who previously worked for Qatari propaganda network Al Jazeera, has compared non-Muslims to “animals” and homosexuals to “pedophiles.” Hasan has also repeatedly defended notorious anti-Semites like Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Daily Wire just feels so confident branding people anti-Semites.

These are conventionally liberal people who parrot conventionally liberal talking points. We can speculate that they, in their personal lives, harbor dark, anti-Semitic thoughts, but this is overly judgmental... Particularly when a far more obvious answer seems to present itself everywhere: these are naive leftist women.

Their saving grace is that they are generally right about Palestine.

Pope Francis on Monday condemned the practice of using a surrogate mother to birth a child and called for a global ban on the practice.

The pope called surrogacy “despicable” during an annual foreign policy address to ambassadors of 184 countries.

“I consider despicable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child,” Francis said.

Absolutely the Pope has a point here and I wish him success in his endeavors.

Lucid Dreams


Lucid dreams are a type of dream where you become aware of the fact that you are dreaming within the dream, then, often, you can direct the dream as you like, go flying, time travel, travel to a distant planet, whatever.

I had a lot of these in my twenties but they declined significantly after that and now in my 60's they are relatively rate even though I still dream quite vividly and generally do remember my dreams at least initially upon wakening.

A key to intentionally having a lucid dream is finding some test to determine if you are awake or dreaming and then doing it frequently while awake. This becomes habit and then you start doing it in your dreams as well.

A test that seems to work for many is looking at their hands though nobody has ever explained to me how this works and what is different in a dream state, however I have not found this to work for me.

I accidentally discovered last night that in a dream state I can not perform simple multiplication in my head. In a dream to solve some problem I had to
multiple 3x17 in my head, I could not do it, but upon waking it was trivial.

I'm not sure how this will work in the long run, if I always use the same numbers
then it will just become a memory item.

#theology

From St. John Chrysostom's homilies on Romans 11:

Ver. 28. "As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes."

That the Gentile then might not be puffed up, and say, "I am standing, do not tell me of what would have been, but what has been," he uses this consideration to bring him down, and says, "As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes." For when you were called they became more captious. Nevertheless God hath not even now cut short the calling of you, but He waiteth for all the Gentiles that are to believe to come in, and then they also shall come. Then he does them another kind favor, by saying, "As touching election, they are beloved for the fathers sakes." And what is this? for wherein they are enemies, punishment is theirs: but wherein they are beloved, the virtue of their ancestors has no influence on them, if they do not believe. Nevertheless, as I said, he ceaseth not to solace them with words, that he may bring them over. Wherefore by way of fresh proof for his former assertion, he says,

Ver. 30-32. "For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief; even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they may also obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all."

He shows here that those of the Gentiles were called first. Then, as they would not come, the Jews were elected, and the same result occurred again. For when the Jews would not believe, again the Gentiles were brought over. And he does not stop here, nor does he draw the whole to a conclusion at their rejection, but at their having mercy shown them again. See how much he gives to those of the Gentiles, as much as he did to the Jews before. For when ye, he would say, "in times past did not obey," being of the Gentiles, then the Jews came in. Again, when these did not obey, ye have come. However, they will not perish forever. "For God hath concluded them all in unbelief," that is, hath convinced them, hath shown them disobedient; not that they may remain in disobedience, but that He may save the one by the captiousness of the other, these by those and those by these. Now consider; ye were disobedient, and they were saved. Again, they have been disobedient, and ye have been saved. Yet ye have not been so saved as to be put away again, as the Jews were, but so as to draw them over through jealousy while ye abide.
